Description

The 14 x 17 Shire Bradenham Log Cabin in 34mm logs from Shire is a stunning garden building that really stands out, particularly when compared with traditional garages. It could even serve as an inexpensive solution to a more substantial extension on your home. Whether you want a safe and secure shelter for your car, bike or other vehicle, a stylish way to give you buckets of extra storage, or even a well-insulated, spacious home workshop that you can take advantage of all year round, the Bradenham is as practical as it is pleasing on the eye.

At elbec, we are confident that our log cabins are the perfect way to make the most of your unused garden space and provide an excellent place to work or spend your leisure time in comfort all year round.

Ways to Make the Most of Your Bradenham Log Cabin

The Bradenham provides you with an impressive interior space, ideal for storage, working or for your hobbies. Designed to be an attractive alternative to a traditional garage, the Bradenham is of course perfect for storing a car, bikes, a boat or a trailer, though we always recommend that you check the dimensions of anything you want to store inside against those of the Bradenham before purchasing! If it’s more general storage that you’re after, the interior will be more than spacious enough for just about anything you might need to get inside. If you’ve got camping gear, gardening tools, large items of furniture, a ride on lawnmower, loads of kids toys or simply anything that needs sheltered storage, the Bradenham could provide the room you need. Especially if your existing storage areas are full to bursting, you can relieve the pressure by adding loads of extra storage in your new log cabin. Alternatively, many customers purchase the Bradenham with the intention of using it as a hobbyist workshop, or even a more substantial workshop from which to operate their business. These customers usually choose to include the optional floor if they intend to use it as a workshop. The Bradenham has significant advantages over alternative garden buildings sold as workshops. With the insulation offered by the thick wall logs, you can make use of your workshop all year round, a very important consideration if your livelihood depends on not having to take a break from work due to the weather. Whatever you need the Bradenham for, you are certain to appreciate the valuable, new space it gives you.

Why Others Tell Us They Love the Bradenham

Customers who purchased the Bradenham are generally those looking for a practical space, but for whom appearances are still an important factor. Combining a well-insulated, spacious interior with the stunning look of thick, interlocking, timber logs, the Bradenham is always a winner with customers looking for practicality as well as attractiveness in a garden building. With two opening windows, allowing you to control the temperature inside with ease, in addition to a half-glazed door, plenty of light can flood in to your garage log cabin. This makes finding items inside straightforward and ensures an ideal working environment if being used as a workshop. The crossed, Georgian-style glazing, using handcrafted joinery, adds an additional touch of quality too. The doors are secure and lockable, a vital consideration for customers looking for a secure garden building. The generous, roof height and classic apex roof style makes the interior feel spacious, and with thick roof beams and timber walls, the finish is truly stunning. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their log cabins, which look fantastic in any style or colour. Shire recommends that you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Bradenham look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. Whether you prefer bold, bright colours or more subtle, natural wood tones, Protek really do have a paint to suit any taste.

Features

A Shire Log Cabin is built to last, and the Bradenham is certainly no exception. Shire uses 4-way corner joints and interlocking logs of the highest quality as standard. This ensures that you’ll be impressed by the strength, stability and sturdy feel of the Bradenham Log Cabin. With Shire’s draught seal system fitted on all external windows and doors, you are sure to be snug when inside. This particular Bradenham Log Cabin is made from logs that are 34mm in thickness. However, each size of the Bradenham is also available in versions with alternative wall log thicknesses, either 28mm, 34mm, 44mm or 70mm. Upgrading to a Bradenham with thicker wall logs is a popular choice, especially if you intend to use it as a workshop for business purposes or for general, year-round use. The Bradenham is supplied without a floor, for garage use. However, if you intend to use it as a workshop or as a space for your hobbies, customers will generally purchase the optional, 14mm tongue and groove floor, providing the ideal surface for workbenches, shelving or machinery etc.

Opting for optional toughened glass or double glazed windows is another great way to improve the cabin’s year-round usability. Quality floor and roof insulation using Celotex is also available as an optional extra so you can make the most of your log cabin whatever the weather. The double doors and the side entry single door can all be locked securely. At the time of assembly, you can choose which side of the Bradenham you would like the windows and doors, giving you extra flexibility to adapt it to your available space. You can also purchase and construct your log cabin in the confidence that all Shire Log Cabins can be dismantled and rebuilt should you ever decide to move. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your log cabin quickly and correctly. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive instructions included with the log cabin and construct it yourself.

Range of Customisations Options

At elbec, we offer a wide range of customisation options on all our Shire log cabins to help give you your perfect cabin. Why not upgrade to hexagonal roof tiles, available in red, green or black, to add an extra touch of style and added insulation to your cabin?

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber log cabin starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your log cabin. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Siberia and Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's log cabins is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on log cabins. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

Base

It is important that the base for your log cabin is firm and level. You can request 'Guidelines for Preparing a Concrete Base' through our 'Contact Us' Section.

Bradenham FAQs

What size log cabin do I need?We would always recommend that your decision making is based on the biggest log cabin you can afford. It will of course need to fit in the space you have allocated without any restrictions. You will find that just like a house, you will always find use for the space. Of course size and space will come down to what you will potentially use the Log Cabin for ie Garden Office, Games Room, Hobby Room or for Dining. We also have Log Cabins with multi rooms. We offer a made to measure and design service where you can dictate your own log cabin size and design.

What should I consider when choosing a location for my log cabin?Unlike some Log Cabins with Shire Log Cabins you actually build the cabin from the inside but you will need enough room to be able to assemble the roof and treat the external walls. We would therefore recommend that your log cabin should ideally have a clear space of at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. We know that this can sometimes be an issue and therefore a reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. When considering your space around your log cabin (particularly where there are space constraints) remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also clear the area of any nearby shrubs and trees and remember to allow for future growth. If possible a sheltered position is better.

Do Shire Import their Log Cabins?No!Shire Log Cabins are not imported they are machined logged here in the UK. There are many advantages to this notwithstanding the logs will fit together first time which is not always the case for imported log cabins. First of all in the unlikely event of needing parts these are readily available and you would not have to wait weeks for replacement parts as you would if the log cabin was imported. Secondly as they are built in the UK any technical advice you may need is also readily available.

What is the best way to prepare a base for my Log Cabin?All log cabins require a well prepared, solid, flat, level concrete base to ensure a long lasting and stable installation. It should have a very slight fall to prevent water laying on it. We do not recommend slab and / or shingle bases as an uneven base or subsequent settling will cause excessive strain and may damage your building. Guidelines for preparing a base are issued subsequent to placing an order and are also available upon request.

Does the Log Cabin need to be treated?Log Cabins are supplied untreated. We explain in the section below the reasons for this. However as it is untreated it will enable you to decorate and finish your log cabin to your own individual style and taste. Please Note: the bearers are pre-treated with pressure treatment therefore any wood that comes into contact with the ground is powerfully treated to prevent against decay and insect infestation. It is advised that you treat your log cabin when it has been constructed with a suitable external wood treatment (there are some parts which will need treating prior to assembly which are detailed in the instructions) and treat the external walls periodically after that in order to maintain and prolong the life and beauty of your log cabin. We would also recommend the maintenance of doors and window hinges that you regularly oil these to ensure a continued smooth operation.

Why don't you pre-treat Log Cabins?Log cabin timber is kiln dried, a process that reduces moisture content. This drying ensures that all wood is reasonably sized and capable of locking together tightly and securely. If timber was to be pre-treated for customers, the rigidly sized pieces of wood would have to be coated with preservative at this stage of production. Each piece would absorb varying amounts of treatment and drying times would be inconsistent. This process would expand to different sizes and this movement would prevent the interlocking log walls from fitting together tightly and securely, if at all.

Why don't all your log sizes come with double tongue and groove?Using double tongue and groove on log sizes smaller than 44mm would cause the tongues to be very thin and liable to breaking off. This could jeopardise the bond making it very weak. We ensure that our 28mm and 34mm single tongue and groove logs and our 44 and 70mm double tongue and groove logs keep you nice and snug in your log cabin without jeopardising the sturdiness of the building.

Do you offer an Installation Service?Yes. We offer an installation service throughout the majority of the UK mainland*. Installation by one of Shire's experienced assembly teams. If this is not displayed as an option on the product page, please call our Sales Team on 0115 965 9900 for a quote. Due to Seasonal fluctuation when choosing this option Installation may take up to 6 weeks.

How is the delivery of my log cabin arranged?You will be contacted by Shire the manufacturer of your log cabin within 1-3 working days via a text message to the telephone number you have provided either a mobile or landline to inform you of how to book your delivery date. This will involve visiting their booking website. You will then either be able to book your delivery date online, or be advised that Shire will call you once a date is available. If having assembly of your log cabin you will still be sent a text message to go on to the booking website to accept the terms and conditions for assembly you will then be contacted at a later date by the delivery team with an assembly date for your log cabin.

How easy are Shire Log Cabins to assemble?You will not need to be a DIY professional to put up a Shire log cabin. Comprehensive, accurate and extremely easy to follow assembly instructions are supplied. They show exactly where every component fits and the majority of individual components are coded to match the instructions. You are also supplied with spares for some parts just in case. However, if you feel that you need a little advice or just have a couple of questions to ask, you can call Shire's Technical Team on: 01945 465 295 who will be happy to help.

Can I insulate my log cabin?The floor and roof of our log cabins can be easily insulated (We do not recommend insulating the walls of the log cabin as they need to be able to move slightly with the changes in weather). There are many insulated sheets on the market suitable for insulating your cabin. We recommend using batons on the wall with a slot at one end to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood. We also offer optional 11mm thick double glazing. On many of our log cabins we have the option to increase the log thickness

Can I have electricity in my log cabin?Although providing an electricity supply to a log cabin is normally a straightforward task, for safety reasons we recommend that you consult an approved electrician first.
